    I was there this morning about 9:20. I was gone by 9:50 and went through twice. A couple of decent deals, but nothing I couldn't live without. Left with a pit beef and pit ham sandwiches.

    I dropped in at 10:00, and finished up at 12:00 with a combo pit beef/ham sandwich. They certainly do not skimp on the meat, that sandwich was a full meal.

    Ammo prices were relatively high, but I have come to expect that with gun shows. I got lucky and bought a nice 1917 Eddystone, which I looking forward to trying out alongside my 1903A3 and Garand.

    DARN! I've been looking for a 1917. ;) I missed buying one there last year because I was stupid. :innocent0 I was there Friday night with my son and we didn't see any. :envy:

    As if today hasn't been crummy enough. :sad20: Please, post no pictures or price!

    Picked up a cz 455 american for a fair price. Got some pit beef and saw a nice 67 chevelle


    Nice! I've been on the hunt for a 455 Varmint with a 16.5" threaded barrel paired with the walnut stock but found out it does not exist here in the US.. Only available in the European Market

    Duffys had a 455 with a threadad barrel when I was in there on thursday

    Hmm.. Wonder if it was the .17hmr model with a 21" threaded barrel (1/2-20 Parker/Hale thread)

    No, I think it was the 22lr varmint tacticool one.

    I see, that model is offered with the 16.5" threaded. Not a fan of the stock but I guess I could buy that and swap stocks or send Barrel out to be cut threaded. I like what they did with the American "combo" which includes both barrels (.17hmr and .22lr)

    I showed up later in the day on Saturday...saw some decent deals on a few shotguns and a Siamese Mauser. A guy in the basement had a really nice US-marked Remington Model 11 Sportsman I would have taken home if I had not forgotten about it until after I had bought an AR upper. A lot of stuff was priced as if Hillary was elected (Ruger Gunsite Scouts OVER MSRP, $2k Tavors, and $400 sporterized Lee Enfields and Mausers). Not much ammo. I ended up buying an AR upper from Hanover Armory and called it a day.

    We've done that show for the past 2 years and took most, if not all, of our inventory. We'll probably go again this year. The pit BBQ is awesome!

    Oh yes.

    Worth it to show up just for a pit beef.

    $6 entrance fee. Last year, I picked up a can of Garand food from Tyler's. And a Remington Nylon 66.

    Last year and this year, I saw mag feed Nylon 66 rifles. Also saw a Squire Bingham .22 that sort of looks like an AR.
